While this first book didn't end entirely on a cliffhanger, it's clearly not over. And I have questions. I can't wait to read more!
This dystopian tale is believable, down-to-earth, and populated with characters I cared about. From the beginning you are made aware of just how high the stakes really are in this plausible, post-apocalyptic future.
Characters are compelling, and their arcs vary. None of them are bland, flat, or simply plot fodder. Even the side characters matter and make a difference to the story.
The story is full of surprises, not twists, but surprises. One thing builds on another in such a way that it all feels real.
Loved it.
